Try the milwaukee chain saw with a 12 amp battery
the DeWalt 60 volt brushless motor would be much more powerful and efficient. They have 12 amp hour 60v batteries. It would have at least doubled the number of cuts the Dewalt chainsaw did
I purchased a 10" Knipex adjustable in 1978 if I remember correctly. I'm pretty sure it was before I hired on with my last employer. (Not 100% as I am getting old and that was a long time ago.) but I still have them. I had to take the spring out a couple of months ago and bend some spring back into it as it was opening up on it's own but put it back and they still work. As a matter of fact, I had them in the tool drawer in the house for a month or so last winter so I wouldn't have to walk out to the barn to get them and my wife got used to them being there and now I have to leave them in the house.
@@brendens3756 No one mentioned solar panels recharge batteries for those that live off grid while when there is no more gas you are done.....
that one chainsaw just doesn't want to sit stihl.
Exactly that's why the comparison is not fair, we could also say that an electric motor has an efficiency around 95%, and a thermic one about 30%,
And there is more in it, like the total taxes the state takes you on electricity/gas.
Certainly not a "that simple" comparison.
Ummmmmmmm
It’s a joke Chaotkmind

Well....I GOT what you did there.... "sit Stihl" 😂🤣😂🤣
@@jakob.o4979 way over your head
My heart skipped a beat when that thing almost fell on your face.... omg man
Ya
You could see it coming too
That would've been a very different video
Was not too far from his family jewels. As a u tube influencer it was a stupid move to put the chainsaw up the pile.
That Stihl saw nearly took your head off for comparing it with a Dewalt electric, it's almost like you hurt its feelings... :-D
It's true. I don't think the saw is going to start without a fight next time because of this comparison. 🤣
No, it's trying to kill Dewalt.
Tried twice!
unnecessary violence! the stihl needs a time out.
He could have compared with a still battery powered, though not the first model to come out which was sort of needed for future saws to be improved.
I want to see a comparison between a huscavarna and a fisher price- my first chainsaw.
My asscheeks were CLINCHED when I saw that STIHL just teetering on that tower
Dude I knew that thing was coming down. Good thing it didn't fall on his head.
@@justaninja1 i agree, but at least he was wearing his hard hat. He definately didnt have to.
❤️
thats nothing my dad threw ours a couple of times because it wouldnt start and yes aftter a lot of rages he put a little work and love into it and it runs like a charm
somebody sure is going to get a beating at home from the mrs for that
Didja see the Stihl saw attack the DeWalt!?!!
The Virgin Dewalt vs the Chad Stihl
Yeappp..😁😁😁
the added violence from the stihl detracts from its usefulness. what happens if it becomes self-aware? it may start attacking its user too...
@@wognessmonster9876 I think Cody is on to that. Didja see the crazy new fill cap setup? I think it has a wifi shutoff just in case.
Twice! I think the intent was clear and the DeWalt saw was clearly scared.
6:36 can we just have a moment to look at that wonderful view it’s the best view I have ever seen
most of the trees here on the east coast fall over when asked nicely.
I don't know what you mean us east coast tree cutters just have to think of asking nicely and then they'll fall over

@@dakota8110 hurricanes and severe weather mostly
Curious how those electric saws would do in tough hardwood from here in the east.

I just got done watching the green saw test video and now am watching this one. When Cody spilled that oil I could not stop laughing in a good way he did say he had a way of spilling things. I love the fact he did not edit it out. Especially with all the positive people of the internet. Great vids, thank you sir.

OMG lol if you slow down to .25 speed from 7.33 sounds so funny...and WAS super close..glad your ok man
Totally agreeing with you on this one. I find the battery chainsaws are great for the 'few minute projects'. The corded or cordless Stihl chainsaws are common in timber framing shops where chewing out a mortise and tenon before cleaning it up is a great place for this saw. Same goes for arborists doing work up in a tree, the battery life lasts a lot longer when not put under massive non-stop load and so it is a nice convenience when up in a tree. But if there's ever a task that requires trustworthy dexterity, gasoline is the way to go. Especially when temperatures are below freezing and you're relying on that saw to work and the batteries die from the cold.
Id use a stihl top handle over any electronic as my husband has he has 7 saws 5 of them stihl pro saw on prosumer and a johnsered and then he has a few antique power saws
This is also a pretty solid demonstration of the efficiency that's currently possible with gas vs electric motors in any application.
Love the Metallica “nothing else matters”on banjo in the introduction.

Wish I knew how to post the link to the video. It's awesome.

"The amount of oil I've spilt would make Green Peace blush." - Yeah, that one got me good.
@Michael Fresh I've always heard bar oil is stickier than motor oil so holds on longer going around the bar so keeps bar and chain lubed and lasting longer. Never tested it though so cant prove one way or another
Oh plus bar oil is vegetable based so more environmentally friendly if thats any concern
I have 3 stihls one 12" top handle one 16" one 24" and then I have 3 makita 12" battery powered. I like all of them, but my go to is the Makita for the quick cuts just for the fast start stop and ease. I think they all have their place. When it come to cutting up trees I like gas, but for trimming things and clearing brush or liming trees I like the battery.
I've got a Stihl MS291 that I paid WAY TOO MUCH for. But... It never lets me down. It never stalls out and with the Stihl premium oil. I don't even have to winterize it. And I know if I ever have kids they'll inherit a damn good tool when I'm gone.
The view of that mountain in the background is so beautiful. I hope cody doesn’t take it for granted.
Most honest video I have seen, I understand when you describe the “experience”. When you have a few limbs in the back yard to see about and don’t want to just hand saw them, battery would be the way to go.
"Well that's a bummer" made me laugh
6:30 beautiful landscape and mountain in background.
Isn’t gas “cordless” too?
cordless is an industry term, I didn't creat it,
Obviously. Anyone with sense knows that Cordless is referring to electrical. I've never heard of anything Gas that plugs up to anything. So therefore it is obvious that this is Gas vs Electrical but Cordless specifies the type of electrical. Great videos. Keep up the good work and ignore the morons.
No, a gas saw is not cordless, unless theres one with electric start.
Gas generator's plug up to all sorts of things.
@@wht4132 Aren't you some kind of genius. Imagine that. A generator plugging up to electrical stuff. Who would have ever thought.
meh, i keep an electric chainsaw in my truck for camping and emergency road clearing, it's fine for that but it's not something that i would actually pick up to do some work with.
Unless I am mistaken, a electric is good for simpler short-term tasks whereas as always, a good normal saw is better for just everything
One major advandage i noted is when working at height, were even with a safety cord good to keep your balence, not needing to pull back on the starter rope. But on the ground, seems gas is best for sure.
Your name is aids. אורי פלסי
I have the dewalt 60v saw and I use 12ah batteries. I get anywhere from 60-75 cuts depending on wood type and thickness. I was a little skeptical at first but I now love this saw. The convenience is wonderful
At first I thought why he needed a helmet for the video, in the end I know it: D
Suchender W the saw can also kick back and hit you in the head while you’re cutting if you’re not careful
I kinda feel like this isn't a fair comparison. I dont think DeWalt designed that saw to go head to head with a gas powered one, but rather more of a home owner needing a chainsaw a few times a year. I would think most people who are going to be cutting a cord of wood won't even consider an electric and again, I am not sure that was what it was designed for. Anyway, great videos and I am a new member to the channel, love what I am seeing so far.
Hey Cody
I have a good Makita corded saw, I put a Woodland Pro 18" bar on it with a thin kerf chain and it cuts great, and for downtown Tokyo, it's quiet, but it just ain't no gas saw, full stop.
Great comparison, I wonder how the haters are going to hate on this one LOL
Cheers from Tokyo!
Not gonna lie, Mr. Wranglerstar, it was a bit anxiety producing watching that chainsaw teeter/totter above you knowing it was going to crash down upon your manly head. Thank god for hard hats and lightning quick reflexes! Stay safe, son! LOVE your channel with all my guts & livers! Also, I feel compelled to send you THOUSANDS of USPS crates. I don’t have thousands but if I did I would send them to you. Let the haters hate. You. Are. Great!
You have a great sense of humor! Watched the intro a few times for enjoyment.
God Bless
Thanks for confirming that my bias has reason! I believe battery tools in general will continue to make strides in their ability to get work done in a simple, effective manner, HOWEVER, there will always be a limit! Gas powered tools, electric power tools, pneumatic nailers all have huge advantages in their ability to perform a great volume of work for an extended period of time. Being a contractor I will admit I use the 20V/60V battery systems every day, and most of the tools have been fantastic, but they don’t hold a candle to “the real thing”. These battery “yard tools”- string trimmers, chainsaws, hedge trimmers- only offer convenience and zero emissions. When you really need to get a lot done you’ll have to grab a real tool and some gas or electric to go with it! For now at least!
Great comparison. I feel just like anything it has its place. Just not a replacement for an actual saw. I could see this being great to put on the back of your ATV or side by side and doing a little trail clearing/clean up. Or even after you feel a tree have Jack or someone come behind you to take the limbs off.
You are right, I live in Germany, and i own Stihl saws from my grandpa and father and they just cut perfectly fine after all the years.
Its a lifetime investment.

"Gotta say this $10 gas can really does the job, but If I had to choose I would pick this $3000 can any day"
It's awesome to have smaller electric saw and then a big gas one. The convinience of the electric one is just priceless. You can cut at Sunday noon next to your neighbours fence and nobody's going to hear you. You don't have to start it if you just need a one quick cut, you just press a button. When we go cutting with my dad, I just use the electric one to clear the smaller pieces, cut the branches etc, while he cuts the big trees with a big gas Stihl saw. Works really well.
Here in the Midwest we cut trees that are “hardwood” like oaks, none of that “pine all the time” stuff
Yup, its a different animal especially when dry.
Hardwood doesn't mean hard
NordboDK I used quotes to denote that the wood is hard. And mentioned it’s Oak, which is literally a hard wood.....
Strange enough balsa wood is a hardwood species.
@@brianx2504 and Yew is a softwood and harder then alot of hardwoods. What's your point ?
The biggest advantage I could see to cordless is trimming branches otherwise gas is definitely going to rain supreme
florida guy 1 reign*
@@zachmeyer2718 stupid autocorrect got me lol
I came to the same result. When I need to cut something quick I grab my electric. It works when I push play every time. My gas chainsaw has to be nurtured every time but it does work eventually. Like you said convenience is king. And you don’t smell of gas afterwards either just sawdust and the ladies love that smell!
I'm stuck figuring the wait equation.
Buy now, 5 times better one comes out by the time I use the saw 20 times? Or buy as gas saw and be done with it forever?
especially mixed with bar oil and sweat!!!
Yea baby, grease and sweat! If your not sweating your not working. That’s what my dad would say!!
My gas one I have had to replace all the fuel lines & oil line twice. Hone the cylinder once’s and don’t know how many spark plugs. And let’s not forget about the names I have call it trying to start it. That’s why I grab my electric battery first the the gas powered if the job become large. My son has to help too!
The acoustic metallica playing was the best thing ive experienced in any of your vids. Respect!
The electric saw still has a place, it seems like a good option for someone who doesn't do a lot of sawing. A homeowner who needs to trim a few branches off a tree or other small jobs.
The guy that needs to spend half the day sawing logs and cutting up a cord of wood will be better off with the gas chainsaw.
Looking at price though most anyone would be better off in the long run with the gas saw
Yeah electric saws are also good if you own a couple of acres but only have to do basic property maintenance and cut some firewood once a year. The big issue with gas saws is that they can be pretty high maintenance if you just leave them sitting around most of the time,
@@kidthorazine not realy fire it up every 2 to 3 month for 5 to 10 minutes takes care of most long therme storage problems
Keanan Fleck A guy I used to know cut slabwood with one , corded, as long as he kept it sharp , he did pretty good with it.
@@nickhetzer2744 Yeah that's great if you remember to do that, but a lot of people don't. I used to do small engine repairs and fixing neglected chainsaw motors from people who used them like twice a year was about 65% of the business.
The problem I ran into with that logic is, by the time I use it 20 times, they'll have discontinued the damn battery. Or itll be a hopelessly underpowered saw compared to the new ones on the market. This brings up the problem of the wait equation.
Where as you can get any gas saw and just be done with it.
i am a german carpenter and we have in our company both cordless and petrol chainsaws from stihl. we use the cordless chainsaws mainly when we build new houses to quickly adapt prefabricated walls that do not fit 100%.
whereas the petrol chainsaws are mainly used when dismantling old roof trusses where you have to saw a lot of old beams and rafters. all in all i don't want to miss either one of them, especially as we only need two batteries, as as soon as one is empty, the other one is already fully charged so that you only need to change the batteries and therefore there is no big difference how long you can work with them
Why even compare these, 2 different uses. Couple of times a year I get out my gas chain saw, bad gas, left over gas, gotta clean it , won't start. Electric, push the button and go
HU -LK if you can’t fix or start a petrol chainsaw then your should not be touching a chainsaw
Lol. Good point. Inexperienced people should not have a real saw. But good point.
@@1Slamalama1 That is the whole point isnt it? If you are a serious user of a chainsaw your going to do the maintenance, do the prep work, do the clean up/storage. If however you have to make all of 25 cuts a year, why get a tool with a lot more overhead to run instead of a charge and play electric?
Wrong !
The Batterys do not like to be stored long times and after few years they getting weak and the capacity will be lower every month and charge !
If you only use it a couple times a year, you should drain the gas before storing, and definitely clean it after every use, what is wrong with you ! You don't deserve a gas saw, go to your room !
nice mountain in the background, I don't speak english fluently but the pictures speak for themselves, thank you
Definetily agree with your findings. But at the same time intended use has to be taken into consideration. I own 3 different gas saws. My Stihl is definetily the finest of the bunch. But for the guy who finds himself in need of a chainsaw only occasionally and doesn't want yet another gas engine to maintain I think it would be a good fit. Comparing the Ferrari of chainsaws to the Ford Probe of chainsaws wasn't really fair. But hey what do I know...I'm just an East Coast guy lol.
Totally agree and that has been my experience with my Dewalt battery chain saw. I don't cut enough wood around my property to need another Stihl, and my Dewalt is extremely convenient and easy to work with, and gets the job done just fine.
I have to agree. I purchased the 20v dewalt chainsaw for a land clearing job we were doing. I wanted a saw that we could keep near the chipper and trim brush if need be. As soon as I took the dewalt out, it was lighter but I noticed I was using more force to cut trees. That translates to energy and time. And at $180 for the dewalt, I took it back and bought a Stihl MS170 for $170. That saw hands down is amazing. Cuts almost anything we needed to and is light. We only used the MS440 magnum for stumps. For the price, power, and energy you need to expend, buy the Stihl MS170, use VP 50:1 fuel which stores for a minimum of two years in the saw and get cutting.
I'm assuming the 319 dislikes were OSHA guys when the gas saw tried to fall on him....
That quick fill gadget looks so nice, and it works so good, glad to see it in another video.
The gallons of oil and gas I've spilled over the years... lol too funny.
Same with corded v. cordless drills... Convenient as the cordless stuff is, if you have a bunch to do, the real deal plugs into the wall. Good vid. Thx.
the cordless Stihl saw is actually very cool. Makes that DeWalt feel like a toy
Top Dog obedience I have to agree I’m an Elevated Platform Operator and have been told I’m in the top echelon in the arborist industry. We did an arboreal trial with the stihl electric climbers saw and it was as good as the ms180, the stihl ms 200 outperformed both with ease.
@@roowithers can you post some video and hit me with a link?
My dad had a chainsaw very similar if not the same as the Stihl one in this video. We had a lot of ice storms on the mountain I grew up on and he cleared hundreds and hundreds of trees with it and it still works perfectly. Probably had it since the early 90s
I love watching Wranglerstar spill oil, fuel, and every single liquid he ever pours!

I came back not only because Ive supported the channel for a while but was eager for gas/oil spills.... I was not disappointed :)
This is fantastic but I would have rather seen Milwaukee
My wife bought us a Makita 16-inch battery chainsaw with the charger kit. We didn't want the camper or the vehicles to stink of gasoline. We love our Makita.
But why do we need a chainsaw? We go camping several times a year in Wyoming. They had a big pine-beetle kill problem about a decade ago. Now those dead trees are starting to fall over. We need a chainsaw to get into or out of the back roads we travel on. It is a common problem for us to have to remove a dead tree that fell over. Sure a gasoline saw would do better, but it is hard to sleep in a camper or tent the reeks of gasoline.
I just ordered a second battery saw for my wife's vehicle. She sometime lets me go off by myself and then joins me later in the week. She may have to remove a tree or two without me being there to do it for her. We have tow straps in both vehicles to drag the cut up logs out of the way.
The time difference was shocking
Good thing I was watching this in the bathroom. Saved me from having to change my shorts. I've gone through 4 gas chainsaws. None of them could handle the trees out here. I went and got a Ryobi electric chainsaw and took dow 2 trees. Already had 3 batteries. Use 1 and throw it on the charger as you continue to work. Once the next one is dead the other is finished charging. All you need is a can of compressed air to clean it up. With the gas models they are extremely messy and weigh much more.
You have made a few videos lately about when shtf, just remember when you out of gas, you can still charge the Dewalt with solar or wind power.
Or instead of waiting a day for the thing to charge off solar just use that space to bring more gas
Any person with a gas saw is going to have more than enough gas. Assuming they had time to pack it:) I’m not waiting for batteries to charge. In the time it takes to charge 1, 2, 3 or more batteries I would be finished the cutting job with a gas saw. Even if I had a charger for each battery.
I have a new Mikita single 18v battery. Its is something like 9 pds and I love it! To throw behind the seat in my truck for clearing a tree off the road or a little campfire wood it is FANTASTIC! I will never get rid of my Stihl 260pro but it spends a lot more time at home now.
Thanks for doing that comparison, great to see real world experience in a direct shoot out style test. I would be curious to see how the Milwaukee compares to the Dewalt. Personally i have found the Milwaukee battery saw to run much smoother, with less vibration than my old Stihls, add in being quieter and lighter, for quick tasks around the home the Milwaukee gets picked everytime. I wonder if that's just me OR if there really is a big difference between the red and yellow saws.
The Milwaukee has less run time than the dealt with the big battery
Love your videos you said it best i have a 1983 026 sthil that my dad used to cut firewood year after year and i learned with the same saw still runs and cuts like a champ wouldn't trade it for anything. Every time i take it with me to get parts the guys tell me to hang on to because they dont make them like it anymore 😀
love steve"n" seagull's music... Iron Maidens the trouper... class
Right now the niche for electric is the homeowner who uses it occasionally for small to medium jobs. The convenience of not having to fuel up and worry if the gd chainsaw will want to start far outweigh any performance differences unless you're going to be cutting for hours.
When it comes to chainsaws you can't beat a stihl.
Joe R I would say Husqvarna has it beat
@@karljacobson7811 look at all the real loggers, they all us Stihl...so you are very wrong
No, you are wrong. All the loggers up here in the northeast run Husqvarna.
@@Ginx-pe4si stihl saws have a good name, so they don't have to be good.
Yes, they are good enough, but Husqvarna in my option and many loggers in the northeast agree with me.
The thing about the DeWalt chainsaw is that it isn't meant to go out and cut a couple years worth of firewood or fell a whole forrest. It is meant for intermittent and quick work. A lot of tradesmen in the construction industry use them because you can just pick it up and make several large and fast cuts without having to worry about rip starting a gas chainsaw or finding your mixed fuel. DeWalt has a little ways to go to make the fit and feel match a pro gas chainsaw, but for how long they have been making them they have done a remarkable job.
The bulk of the cost is in the batteries, not the tools themselves, which can be transferred from tool to tool for cutting, drilling, lighting, weed eating, mowing, etc.. unlike the gas chainsaw which can only perform that task.
The most important thing is that these type of electric tools are for convenience use. Gas motors do not sit for long periods of time very well, unlike electric ones that can sit all winter and fire right up when you need them to clean up the occasional fallen tree limbs from a storm or other intermittent light to medium work...
To normal people, the number of cuts per charge isn't that relevant because of battery swapping and quick charging. The amount of cuts per minute though is useful information though! I am rather curious though about the weight difference between the two chainsaws...
Also, I hope you are not running the exact same chain on both chainsaws, as the DeWalt are designed to use a narrower chain with a tooth that is closer to the raker (takes less wood per pass to make for less resistance while cutting). This may be why you are experiencing a lot of grabbing and jerking.
How about testing the new stihl battery ground saw they’ve brought out this year?
The Dewalt I’d for your basic homeowner who has a bunch of other dewalt tools and batteries and just needs to cut a few branches twice a year. Anyone doing any considerable amount of cutting will get a gas powered saw. Those stihls are prices for professionals. I have found the Echo brand to be very good for homeowners who cut a lot. Thanks for the review. It was fun.
Me: "🤔 why's he still wearing a hard hat?"
Me @7:43: "😬 that was close! glad he's wearing a hard hat."
I have found myself using mine in combination. Petrol/gas for felling and the bigger cuts, my little electric saw for processing and those jobs in confined spaces. Much happier using the battery chainsaw where I can, no spills, low noise and ain't busting my arm trying to start it.
Have a cable fed electric saw too, which I use for the static jobs like cutting fire wood or posts, so much safer. Love the test, good stuff.
You should try the Husqvarna or sthil pro battery saws they will most likely beat the Dewalt
My grandfather bought a stihl 08 at least 55 years ago. I dont know how many years he used it. It works like a new saw even today.
Don't forget to add in the time spent trying to get the gas one started after it's been setting a good long while.
Scott B. That’s why I always keep my dewalt chainsaw in the back of my truck. You never know when you might need it & it will always start.
Don't forget if your cutting in the cold the battery will hold less charge and the gas motor will work better
Not sure what saws you're referring to, but I don't know of a Stihl that has a vapor locking issue. Poulan Pro? Sure. Not the Stihls, Husqvarnas, Craftsman, etc.
mine starts on the third pull. so about 20 seconds. if you don’t know how to take care of a two stroke gasoline engine, you shouldn’t have one.
I started my stihl ms250 for the first time in 2 years and it fired up like brand new. Nonethanol gas is all you need.
Watching this while deep cleaning a Stihl 026 I just bought. Will muffler mod it too.
Battery saws are freat for climbing use, better communication, no pull starting, and no fumes right in your face.
If you want a professional battery saw, look at the Husky tophandle, I believe T536Li XP is the model. A colleague of mine uses it to block down trees up to I think 14". One battery is enough for that, with some left.
6:41 what's the giant mountain in the background called?
Looks like St. Helens or Hood.
Mt hood! I live around here
Love that you felt in the "spill of bar oil" GREAT, GREAT VID thank you.
Oh dear that should be left in
That electric setup with two extra batteries would cost over a $100 more than a brand new 261.
A well broken in 261 is a force to be reckoned with
Thanks for the review. From a pure energy standpoint that battery has 1/7 the energy of your chainsaw gas tank so it would have been a miracle if it was even close. A ratio of 1/3 shows the relative inefficiencies involved. Here is the background:
120 million joules energy/gal gas; ~1 cup fuel tank gives about 7.5 million J energy in your gas tank
For any voltage battery, capacity in mAh X voltage x 3.6 = Joules of energy so for your case we have 7500mah x 40v x 3.6 = 1.08 million J
And include however long it takes to charge 3 batteries compared to filling up one tank of fuel
good point
good point
How many dinosaurs have to be recycled to charge 3 of those big batteries?!
Yes but if for some reason your out of fuel then what it's not easy to get alternatives where as batteries can be charged by pretty much anything that generates electricity
I'm sure California has people charging them big electric batteries with generators
we do commercial landscaping and tree removal sometimes. We got a echo electric saw for in the reach lift for smaller cuts but it's to bulky compared to a one handed saw in a basket but we do like it for keeping in the truck for random cuts here and there because it's easy to start and use. I did use the electric echo full charge cutting some slabs for a wedding. It did 20 cuts through a few types of hardwood about the same diameter of your logs there before running out of battery. I would never get rid of the stihls we use but I do see the use for the electrics. They are ideal in a tractor cab or truck especially in the winter because no gas to leak or smell
Glad you didn't get hurt when that Stihl went after the Black and Decker!
The mountain in the background... what a beautiful place to work
Do you know the name of it?
a wise uncle said, bring 2 saws
2 is 1....1 is none. Applies here...as elsewhere.
(So own 3 or 4 or 5 or 6) :)
I never leave the house without 3 saws.
@@flyguyphil7247 or is it 2?
just in case one of them stuck when cutting
Yandi Febrian yep I learned that the hard way! I didn’t have another saw to free the other one that was stuck 🤦♂️
My god I saw the saw on top of the stack and I thought, oh no, don't do that... then it started leaning over further and further and my heart skipped a beat when it fell! So glad it didn't hurt you but it was close... phew... Don't let Mrs. W. see this!!
Honestly, my electric saw is great for small trips to the wood pile when i buy a couple cords in tree length, but if im gonna be cutting a full cord into stove length...its the gas saw for me.
Electric is convenient sure, but if you have to do a lot of cutting, they just dont hold up over all.
The fact that when battery density gets better the gas powered tools (and cars) have 0 advantage kind of shows what is objectively a better tool though.
Fact is if they had a battery in it that held as much cutting hours as the gas tank, the swap out of batteries would be a ton better than the refilling of the gas.
@@SherrifOfNottingham I half agree. My electric saw struggles with Oak and Ash, but with Poplar and Maple it does fine.
The issue is tougher wood requires a lot more power, and these electric saws are designed to limit their torque to avoid killing the battery, or in the case of corded ones, to avoid burning the electric motor.
Hope the winter isn't too harsh on you guys. Another great vid. Thanks for the helpful info in this video as well
That just made me nervous watching Cody hold that tower of wood up with a saw ontop tilt towards him.
That was really dangerous
Woulda been simpler to put saw on ground in front of the stack. Smh
What a amazing background when you stacked up those cuts after your DeWalt saw with the snow covered mountain behind you.
3:16 haha, i've done the same more than once 😄
Im still using my grandfathers stihl 028 wb 50 years later for clearing brush and old trees up at the cabin as well as cutting firewood
I’ve never been a fan of electric saws mike you said they feel rough when you cut with them, but at work when I was running a chipper all day they gave me an electric saw to make the occasional cut so it would feed through the chipper and it was perfect for that
Basically unless you're a lumberjack a normal homeowner will love their electric saw.
Even in clearing a few acres of land, if I'm bucking or cutting anything 6 inches or less I go for my 60 volt dewalt over my stihl. With kickback control it feels a lot smoother and safer and when bucking is super nice as half the time you set your gas saw down running and are dragging branches away.
Logger.
Lumberjacks throw axes at county fairs.
Not all that surprising really. Fuel has a much higher energy density compared to even the most modern batteries
I seriously LOL'd when you were going to fill the gas up and spilled the oil, not to make fun of you but because that's EXACTLY the type of the that happens to me all the time. It's nice not being the only one.
6:00 mountain in background.
Just AWESOME. Just another reason to buy quality gas saw. Add all the extra batteries to gas cost and the decision is very clear. Thank you for the vidio.
Electric 12 minutes to cut 25 rounds
Gasoline 6 minutes to cut 80 rounds
So it would take 45 minutes and 3 batteries to do what you can do in 6 minutes with gas!
Battery operated tools is planned obsolescence at its finest.
battery powered tools are convenient however in my experience these battery powered saws seem to have issues with batteries overheating before they're dead.
Tell that to my lawnmower that does both my front and back yards in one charge.
So you plan to tell me that battery drills and impact drivers are obsolescence?
@@Watttttttt123 Absolutely. Every 5 to 10 years they come out with a brand new battery platform and your old stuff is garbage. You're forced to buy new; That's called planned obsolescence.
We have an 1985(ish) 031AV. It's been set on fire. It's cut counless rounds. It's been smashed bashed and trashed. It still cuts like a scalded dog. No chain brake...no problem!
However...the electric saws are gaining ground and I'm looking forward to their place in the future. I don't automatically discount them now. Technology is good when developed in a free market. They have found a useful niche.
We shall see.
I was kind of hoping to hear what they sounded like, the electric vs the gas
